Do you know when you are going to need to use your concealed carry pistol? In this episode of the Green Ops Podcast Luke talks with Tom Givens, Owner of Rangemasters about how to use stats to develop your practice sessions, where most violent encounters occur and how the rangemasters record (69-0-3) has 3 forfeits.

Tom Givens, owner, founder and lead instructor of Rangemasters started his firearms journey when he was 16 years old.  He became a police officer where he was trained and developed opinions on firearms training in general. After completing a 25-year career in law enforcement and specialized security work, Tom opened his own pistol range in Memphis, TN in 1996.  For 18 years, it was the primary source of handgun carry permit certification for the greater Memphis area.  Soon joined by his wife Lynn, the training duo formed Rangemaster Firearms Training Services to share their expertise with a much broader audience.  They now travel across the country and around the world to arm responsible citizens with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively protect themselves and their families. 

Tom has now been working in firearms instruction for over 50 years. He has trained security officers; law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal level; and foreign government agents.
